A Mac can't open RAR files on its own, let alone protected ones. Why that is, how encrypted files differ from encrypted names, how to extract them and when a protected archive is a red flag.

BitTorrent is a legitimate tool, but Mac users run into three concrete risks. What other peers can see, what Italian law says, and how to spot fake files and cracked apps before you open them.

iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 shipped on September 14, 2026, but their headline feature, Siri AI, is missing in Europe. What actually reaches iPhones and iPads in the EU, and what developers need to check before building with the new SDK.

Removing the start and end of a clip shouldn't cost you quality or half an hour of exporting. What keyframes are, when you can simply copy the video as it is, and when re-encoding can't be avoided.

By December 24, 2026, every EU country must offer a digital wallet for identity and documents. Italy's IT-Wallet is among the furthest ahead, while many others will be late. What it does, what it guarantees, and what changes for developers.

From September 12, 2026, cars, appliances, machinery, and companion apps placed on the market must make their data available to the people who use them, in a machine-readable format. What the Data Act changes for buyers and for developers.

With Matter 1.5, cameras and video doorbells finally join the common standard for connected homes. What that means if you already own bulbs and thermostats from different brands, why video is the hardest piece, and what to check before you buy.

With version 27, released on September 14, macOS runs on Apple silicon only. Intel Macs stay on Tahoe, Rosetta 2 is on its last stretch, and anyone shipping an app has a check to run today. What changes for Mac users and for developers.

The next generation of Wi-Fi no longer promises higher peak speed, but fewer dropped packets, lower latency, and better coverage at the edges of your home. The first devices land in October, final certification is two years away. Is it worth waiting?

Data on the device, the server as a copy rather than an owner. After years of prototypes, 2026 finds local-first with mature libraries, sync engines in production, and its own track at FOSDEM. What it means, what you gain, and where it still hurts.

As of September 11, 2026, the first obligations of the EU cybersecurity rules for digital products apply: anyone selling software or connected devices in the Union must report exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents. What changes, and how to prepare.

When an assistant reads emails, web pages, and documents, any text can turn into a command. Why prompt injection has become the main security problem of systems built on language models, and how to limit the damage.

Mainstream support ended in October 2025, and the extended security updates program for home users closes in mid-October 2026. The real options for anyone still on a Windows 10 PC, from moving to Windows 11 to the alternatives.

Guaranteed updates for years, available spare parts, tougher batteries, and a label that grades repairability. Just over a year after the EU rules took effect, here's what to look at before buying a phone.

Messages, location, and eventually data, with no ground antenna for miles around. Direct links between satellites and ordinary phones are leaving the experimental phase. What already works, what doesn't, and why it matters even for city dwellers.

Obligations for high-risk AI systems have slipped to December 2027, but the work remains. It isn't just a legal problem anymore — it's a problem of architecture, documentation, and process.

No longer a tool you open when you need it, but an identity that works autonomously inside the organization, with a calendar, an inbox, and access to internal systems. What it actually means to bring an AI agent onto a team.

After years of conversations that vanished with every new session, AI assistants are starting to carry around a memory of who you are and what you've already said. It's convenient — but it relocates a question that had so far been easy to postpone.

A language model predicts the next word. A world model tries to predict what happens next in a real scene. It's a precise technical difference, and it's why robotics is looking elsewhere than chatbots.

The web's supply of human-written text no longer satisfies the biggest models' appetite for data. The industry's answer is to generate the missing data with AI itself — a convenient fix that carries a risk rarely discussed.

European cloud, models trained in-house, data residency requirements. Behind a word that has become a slogan sit concrete technical choices — and trade-offs worth understanding before adopting them.

Developer assistants have gone from completing a single line to opening pull requests on their own. Here's what actually changes in day-to-day development work, and which habits become non-negotiable.

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are investing billions to build proprietary AI chips and cut their dependence on Nvidia. Here's why it makes sense, and just how hard it really is.

The new generation of AI-powered browsers doesn't just answer questions. It clicks, fills out forms, and completes purchases on your behalf. Here's how they actually work, and where they still trip up.

The data centers that train and run AI models are consuming power at a pace never seen before. Here's why big tech companies are now signing direct deals with nuclear plants and small modular reactors.

From Tesla Optimus to Figure, humanoid robots are moving past polished demo videos and into real warehouses and factory floors. Here's where things actually stand, and what's still unsolved.

AI agents that can plan and execute multi-step tasks on their own are one of the defining tech trends of 2026. Here's how they work and where they're already in use.

AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search, and Perplexity are redefining how we find information online. What it means for users, websites, and content creators in 2026.

Between breakthroughs in error-corrected qubits and the migration to post-quantum cryptography, 2026 marks a turning point for cybersecurity in the quantum computing era.

From NPU chips in PCs to smart TVs and home appliances, on-device AI is leaving the cloud behind and becoming part of everyday life. Here's what changes for privacy and performance.

Companies and developers are shifting from experimentation to concrete, measurable use cases. We look at the data, the obstacles, and the signals pointing to AI maturity in 2026.

From Meta to Apple, the biggest names in tech are betting on smart glasses as the next personal computing platform. Here's what they can actually do today, and what still separates them from the smartphone.

More range, faster charging, and a lower fire risk. Solid-state batteries are moving out of research labs and into the first pilot production lines. Here's where things actually stand.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft have made passkeys the default sign-in method across their services. Here's how they work, why they're more secure than a password, and what it means for anyone managing online accounts.

As deepfakes get more convincing, banks, companies, and social platforms are racing to harden their identity verification systems. Here's why the topic is at the top of cybersecurity searches in 2026.

Smartphone and laptop makers are shifting more and more AI features from the cloud to the device itself. More privacy, less latency, no connection required — here's why small local models have become a hot topic.

Video generation models have gone from rough, few-second clips to footage that's nearly indistinguishable from real filming. Here's why AI video is one of the most searched topics right now, and what it means for creators, media, and advertising.
